Synopsis: Tiglath-pileser crushes rebellions in Patin and Luash and annexes their territories to Assyria. King Rasyan of Aram-Damascus forms a coalition of southern kingdoms - including Israel, Edom, Phoenicia and Philistia - to challenge Assyrian dominance, but betrayal by allies and the brutal tenacity of Tiglath-pileser lead to his kingdom\u2019s downfall.\n\u201cI am Bar-Rakib the son of Panamuwa, king of Sam\u2019al, servant of Tiglath-pileser the lord of the four quarters of the earth. Because of the righteousness of my father and my own righteousness, I was seated by my Lord Tiglath-pileser upon the throne of my father. The house of my father has profited more than anybody else, and I have been running at the wheel of my Lord, the king of Assyria, in the midst of mighty kings, possessors of silver and possessors of gold.\u201d \u2013 Stele of King Bar-Rakib of Sam\u2019al\nMap of the Iron Age Near East:\nhttps://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/Map_Near_East.jpg\nMap of Iron Age Northern Syria:\nhttps://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/Map_Syria.jpg\nMap of Iron Age Southern Syria and Canaan:\nhttps://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/Map_Canaan.jpg\nRegional Kings List:\nhttps://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/C25_Kings_List.pdf\nEpisode Images:\nhttps://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/C26_Images.pdf\nReferences and Further Reading:\nhttps://audio.ancientworldpodcast.com/C26_References.pdf\nThanks HelloFresh!
